Angela Merkel Supports C&C

- Under "C&C", all countries would agree a target for a stable amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, say, 450 parts per million.- A "global emissions budget" would be calculated, derived from the target figure.- The atmospheric concentration target would be reviewed annually so that it could be revised with new scientific findings.- Developing countries would be allowed to increase their emissions per capita while industrialised nations cut theirs, until both sides reach the same level.
